The signature thread has got to go.....

Ever since the first time I posted in these forums I thought it was a little weird. No other site does this, and it really is quite pointless. Whats next, a "your artwork" topic? Then this whole section would be off topic. I mean come on guys, thats what sections are for....

Anyway, if you agree, post in this topic. I don't mean to sound arrogant, but this is just my thoughts.....

i'm with you here. i almost never come to this site now purely because the site doesnt really hold anything for me.
i'm not a big manga reader anymore, and the people are the only thing that ever brings me back.
this is what drives a lot of people away.

to prove my point... here's a screenshot of what many other forums do:

and i know what all of you have to say. "this isnt an art forum, blah blah blah." its all the same, and it really serves no purpose. nor is it logical.

is it really that hard? it'd certainly make this section more active...
also if we give creative works a section of its own, this allows me to bring in a lot of more Graphic and Artistic resources for all who'd like them.
i.e. Learning Rights Only Photoshop .psd's and many different tutorials, as well as graphic artists who would be interested in teaching.

No, Pax is asking for the same thing. He just gave an example of the way a gfx section is on other boards. ie, sections for sigs instead of topics, as well as sections for large art instead of topics, etc.

EDIT: And only 5 people post in that topic. Thats not popular. The only reason people post there, is because your topic gets deleted if you make one for your specific sig....

basically i'm saying the Creative Works section here is worthless. Anyone talented with GFX or art in the slightest peaces out, because there's nothing for them here. all you do is draw manga characters, and call it "art."

it's not creative in the slightest. also, there's a bunch of you who THINK you know design. then, you give critiques based on it. all of it worthless, yet again. also, it's kind of a royal pain in the ass. i started giving real c&c a while back. what happened? i got bitched out by some of you who cant give nor take real C&C. thats WHY your art sucks. cause no one ever TELLS you that it does! doesnt help that the mods dont know anything about art either.

And if you get all offended and start bitching again, i really dont care. I'm sick and tired of "being nice" and lying about C&C just so your little emo heart wont get broke. grow some balls, people. You cant just GIVE out C&C that says this sucks, this doesnt work, and not get any in return. especially when your skill level is so low.

If you do not like this section, then why do you not simply avoid it? Is that not simpler?

Also, this sub-forum is not named "Artists' Corner" or anything like that. Nor have I seen people referring to themselves as geniuses when it comes to art. This section is called "Creative Works". In no way that name implies that the ones posting here are geniuses, or adept at making illustrations, writing poems, or any other kind of art. Actually, it does not even have to be art, as long as it is (or at least considered to be) creative .

Ha ha, one word Sperm. Hypocrite.
People also don't like it when their C&C are ignored. It's what I call the Deviant Art complex, guesses to why I call it that.

all you do is draw manga characters, and call it "art."

Remember what I said about putting a limit on creativity?
Who the hell do you think you are? You make sigs Sperm. Website signatures! You dare to insult the people who spend time and effort into something that takes more skill. If you don't like it, get the fuck off this site, especially if your going to carry this attitude. I will not allow you to demean other people because of your jaded personal opinion on art, especially on this site.

I'm not getting into this but if you want it removed as a sticky put it to a vote. Post in bold either "Unsticky" or "Keep sticky" in this thread.

Lastly, I see what you mean about having a 'creative section' with sub-categories. I'll humor your idea, and see if it is possible to try it out. But the fact that this is, as you know a Manga site, and not an art site I can't see anything changing.

And Zen, with all due respect, you can shut up. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about, and your stupid little images add nothing to this discussion, besides your own idiocy. I respect your opinion on the subject but there are better ways to get a point across.

Ever since the first time I posted in these forums I thought it was a little weird. No other site does this, and it really is quite pointless

What about before you came to this site? Huh? It is and was the normal to long time members, what does unstickying do? Maybe make it a bumpable topic... Thats all I think.

Sperm was not saying the same thing as you, you clearly stated that having it was pointless in your opinion. He was suggesting a completely different idea, that being a new layout for a creative section. Now I could be wrong, but it looks like your just following suit. You may have had this idea too, but you didn't express it.

The only reason people post there, is because your topic gets deleted if you make one for your specific sig....

And this is where I get off saying that you don't know what your talking about. Because of that sticky people don't create new threads to show sigs.
Originally the thread was not used for C&C, it was just to show off your creations in the Chit Chat section, no matter how good or bad they were.

And when people do create threads, to show off their new sigs, I do not delete them. I wonder how I know this? Put your keyboard down till you know what your talking about, and stop trying to make your point via stupid images. Now.
